are bitterly hostile to it, which is all in its

however, to demonstrate the evils Iof that
system. They have long been known and
felt, and in many of the States the system
has already been abolished. 1t is obvious
enough that when labor is let at one-third or
one-half the market price, as convict labor
has been by many of the States, that the
man who hires it enjoys an unfair advan-
tage. He can sell his products below the
market price and make profit. The result
is to drive his competitor who employs free
labor out Of the market or compel him to cut
down wages to the figure he is paying. The
injustice of this is obvious Convlcts must
be kept at work, but the products Of their
labor should be sold only at the market
price. But on other grounds than its unfair
ness to free laborers the contract system is

The Massachusetts Historic Genealogical
Society has joined the Historical Society in
protest against the erection of a monument

the Boston Massacre. The Society alleges
that the affair was nothing but row, and
that none of the men concerned in it were
actuated by patriotic motives. To which the
colored citizens reply that if that is the case
why have some of Massachusetts, foremost

their eloquence to glorify the affair.
